Terunosuke Miyamoto
Terunosuke Miyamoto is a minor antagonist appearing in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable.
A new Stand user, he attacks Josuke in a fight also featuring Yuya and Koichi.
Appearance
Terunosuke is a man of average height and slim build. Of a middling skin tone, he has light eyes; and light hair, in a detailed, cris-crossed chin-length style, framing his face, curling upwards at its ends.
He wears a long, light coat closed to the end of his chest; underneath, a black top, and fitting black pants. The inside of his coat has printed at the bottom the word "ENIGMA".
Abilities
Terunosuke's Stand is Enigma, empowered when Terunosuke identifies a target's idiosyncratic, unconscious reaction when afraid to capture them in paper; trapping them when folded (also applicable to objects without condition).
Terunosuke is creative and skilled in eliciting fear.
Personality
Terunosuke is obsessed with fear. He tells Josuke the only reason he attacked was because he wanted to see their sign of fear. He sees people as objects; evidenced as he kept trapped a taxi driver with his Stand for later use.
It is revealed that when afraid, Terunosuke tends to close one of his eyes; and when very afraid, he closes both of them.
Synopsis
History
Terunosuke's stand was given to him by Yoshihiro Kira, who stabbed him with the Arrow after which Terunosuke was given the instructions to go out and target Koichi Hirose. While Koichi was walking home from school, Terunosuke jumped him front of him and screamed, scaring the boy to the point of him showing his sign of fear and be trapped by Enigma. He also invaded Tomoko Higashikata's house and turned her into a paper with his stand.
Diamond is Unbreakable
Using Koichi´s school bag left behind, Josuke Higashikata was able to find him with the help of Yuuya Fungami and his heightened sense of smell.
Terunosuke confronted the two at the spot where Koichi's bag was found, before casually turning his back on both of them. Josuke tried to grab him, only to turn him around and be met with his own mother (who Terunosuke had previously kidnapped). Terunosuke accomplished this by freeing her from the paper he had trapped her in, and sealing himself inside of it. After failing to scare Josuke with a surprising gunshot, Terunosuke revealed himself and stepped out of the paper he had hidden in. He explains his stand and taunts Josuke, who attacks instantly only for Terunosuke to evade by sealing himself with in paper. Terunosuke then throws Koichi (within paper) into the street, and Josuke (scared by the realization his friend is in dire peril) shows his sign of fear. Enigma quickly activates, sealing Josuke within paper and leaving Terunosuke victorious.
Collecting Josuke, Terunosuke tells Yuuya he will spare him since he did not help Josuke, and since Yoshihiro didn't tell him to kill Yuuya. Terunosuke summons a taxicab and driver he had sealed, and begins to take his leave, only for Yuuya to have a change of heart and attack him with Highway Star. Terunosuke slams the opened door and tells the driver to go faster, evading Highway Star for a moment before he decides to go on the offensive.
Yuuya finds the taxi stopped at an intersection, Highway Star standing on top of it. Inside there is nothing but closed papers and the scents of everyone inside. Willingly walking into the trap, Yuuya begins to open papers cautiously, triggering fire, scorpions, a bottle of acid, electricity, and even a paper shredder that traps two other papers inside of it. Finally, unable to stop the shredder, Yuuya makes the fatal mistake of showing his sign of fear, triggering Enigma while Terunosuke shows himself at last.
At the last moment, Yuuya reveals he was grabbing Josuke's and Koichi's paper as he was sealed, locking them together. This effect causes their paper to be opened as he is sealed, which results in Josuke quickly defeating Terunosuke. Crazy Diamond breaks him apart and restores him at the same time as his own shredded papers, turning him into a book which is then donated to the restricted section of a library. It is rumored you can hear Terunosuke's voice coming out of it.
The Book: 4th Another Day
(The information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.)
It is revealed that the book Terunosuke turned into had in its pages a bunch of words from shredded paper that didn't have any meaning, even though people thought there was an unknown meaning in it. Terunosuke still has a human conscious and ocassionally asks for help. He became known as the bizarre book, rumors saying the moaning coming from it was from an old employer of the library. Chiho Futaba tried to find it with Takuma Hasumi, who memorized many books in his mind, to get inspiration for her novel, but was unable to find it and gave up.
